Why are Clinton supporters so desperate?
Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 10:22 AM by Araxen
This is a parody of the other thread here: :sarcasm:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5226313

I read the front page and the latest page a few times a day. I am amazed at how many posts that call for Obama to give up, or wonder who is going to endorse Clinton next, or some other tear down of a candidate or former candidate, if they dare to ignore Clinton. On any given day there are at least 10 threads devoted to trying to make Clinton the nominee, not by declaring how great her issues are, but by tearing down someone else. It's really becoming almost laughable if it wasn't hurting the party so badly. All I see are Clinton supporters telling anyone who disagrees that Clinton is the "ONE", to get over themselves, fall in line or don't let the door hit you on the way out. This is unity?

This destructive behavior has been going on since Iowa, and it's not new DUers, it's a lot of old timers who are showing their arrogance. I had come to respect all the supporters of the other candidates, except for Clinton's. For the most part Clinton supporters and Obama supporters snarked back and forth. But then the Clinton supporters started telling all the other candidate's supporters that for the good of the party their candidate should drop out and throw their support to Clinton. Not once did an Obama supporter say that to us, only Clinton supporters.

Their quest to totally ruin Obama has been monumental. I have never read such vitriol in my life, and stuff that is totally made up is amazing. Spinning a story has taken on new meaning in the Clinton camp, it now everyone's fault, but Clinton's.

Clinton supporters, ask yourself this....would you want to work for a company when all the employees you meet are assholes, even if the boss was nice? That's what you've done here. You've shown that the company of Clinton is full of demeaning used car salesmen. Who would blame anyone for not wanting to work for him.

1. Because the campaign thinks that a condescending sense of entitlement sells

2. After months of attacks, the Clinton people are just paying the Obama people back.

4. The attempt to make Obama unelectable is all HRC has left.
She won't get the nomination and her supporters will take down the entire Dem party because of it.

All they have left is sour grapes.
